    Bars! Double, triple entendres! Flow flexing.. slim shady sarcasm. Great replay value. Especially towards the end of the album.

    His best work in a while. Really great to hear Eminem comfortably spitting razor sharp bars. Still better than anybody in the game.

    Finally I hear the Em that I’ve known. You can hear the passions of Royce, Dre and Em really coming together with these collaborations. The setting is perfect and the shout outs and respect for the hip hop community is truth in itself.

With out a doubt the best album of the year, and best album in years that shady has put out.… Expand

    Some say he talks fast with no substance, mostly fans of lil pump , future , 21 savage and takashi69 lol like seriously ? Every word he says is planned for he plays on grammar and vocabulary, just cause you have a basic english level and you can't understand what he's saying doesn't mean that his music is outdated , "you're such a **** hoe i love it" loll that's the type of music yall like

    This album is the equivalent of the Eminem show of this decade (2011-2021). It's like he keeps evolving and changing for the better with each album since Recovery. The beats are top notch, choruses sang by Em are mostly good with some exceptions (I'm looking at you Stepdad). He's got beasts of rap for his features: Royce 5'9", Black Thought, Anderson Paak, Q-Tip and a few others.

    The diversity on this album is insane, he's got a song for everything! You'll find straight bangers (Godzilla, Lock It Up, Yah Yah), woke/sad songs (Darkness, No Regrets, Leaving Heaven), playful songs (Those Kinda Nights, Little Engine), story-telling (Stepdad), songs where he just flexes and responds to criticism (Marsh , Premonition, You Gon Learn).
    This album is a real master piece and one of Em's greatest projects so far.    … Expand

    Dude, This album is pure **** fire , Eminem went Dracarys mode in this **** Every feature is top-tier, Royce outdid everyone though with his lyrically amazing verse in You gon' learn. And-Her-Son-Pac was so smooth. Get it, Beavis ? ha-ha.

    One of the best albums Shady has ever released. A perfect combination of old school Eminem combined with new Eminem.
    This album proves Eminem is a lyrical genius and one of the greatest wordsmiths of all time

    Great Album! Eminem is a genius. The word schemes, and double, triple entendre's are insane. People don't want to give Eminem the great he deserves for being the best lyricist in the game. Unfortunately people want to down play his talent by saying he's only big because he's white. Hip-hop isn't a color it's a culture.

If you do not like this album then you are just one of those people today that go out of their way to hate on Eminem because he is a white rapper that raps better that any other rapper in history and is controversial. The best thing about his music is that he's not affraid to push the boundaries in fear of not sounding like everyone else and actually gives you something that is a breath of fresh air after listening to rap that plays on the radio blending together all day long for months on end until he releases another album that pushes the culture in a new direction. You guys can hate all day long but you can't take away this man's musical talent and what he has contributed to the culture in his career that spans over 20 years now.… Expand

    This is an album that has been on replay constantly. Always deciphering new bars every listen.
    Not an Eminem 'Stan' but this album has elements of various parts of Hip-Hop, from tracks like Unaccommodating, You Gon Learn, Yah Yah, Lock it up, No regrets which shine a light on new & older artists. This is a SOLID Album.

    He clearly cares about his output, but “Music To Be Murdered By” is, unfortunately, another mixed bag of tricks, propped up by lyrical acrobatics and underwhelming production.

    If they look hard enough, any artist could find criticism of their work online. That’s sort of the curse of the Information Age. But not everyone overreacts quite as much as Eminem does. But if his fears grow tiring, his lyrical ability can still give you something to admire, even if the album is somewhat uneven.

    It is not, strictly speaking, a good record—Eminem hasn’t made one of those in a decade—but it boasts enough technical command and generates just enough arresting ideas to hold your attention.
